APC was first published in May 1980 by Sean Howard and is the longest running computer-magazine in Australia.
The magazine's website publishes daily technology news, mostly separate from the printed magazine.
The magazine was bought from Bauer Media Group in 2013 by Future.[1][2] Future subsequently incorporated PC & Tech Authority into APC after acquiring it (along with other computing assets) from Nextmedia in 2018.[3]
In 2022, sister magazine TechLife (formerly PC User) ceased publication and merged into APC.[4]
